Happy Thanksgiving......

Here are Some Holiday Tips For You and Your Best Friend:
The holiday season is upon us and is a great time of year when families and friends get together to share meals and each other’s company. We hope you will include your best friend in all the festivities, but be careful of some traditions that can be harmful. The Humane Society of the United States offers these holiday tips:

**Certain plants such as Mistletoe berries, and the leaves, stem and flowers of the Poinsettia can be dangerous to pets. Be sure to keep these plants well out of the reach of animals in your home, or consider using artificial versions.
**Foods and drinks such as alcoholic beverages, seeds and pits from many fruits, chocolate, macadamia nuts, walnuts, coffee, tea, salt, onions, and other foods can be harmful to pets.
**Never feed pets leftovers from the dinner table. Items such as chicken bones can easily shatter and choke cats and dogs.
**Decorations such as tinsel, glass ornaments and garlands can easily attract pets, but are dangerous choking hazards. Electric decorations such as stringed lights can give your pets a shock should they chew on the wires. Keep decorations out of their reach.
**The unusual commotion of the holiday season can be stressful on animals as well as humans. **Put your pets in a quiet room or quiet area of the house when guests are visiting.
**All we would add is to remember that we are all creatures of habit. Try your best to keep your four-legged friends routine consistent throughout the season. And, when the stress gets to be too great for either of you, some quite time, a long walk or a trip to your local petstore for a special treat always seems to help calm the nerves.

With all that said...Have a safe and FUN Thanksgiving....and don't forget to VOTE for me and Sophie everyday until the end of the month!!!
